  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

Number of frost free days is calculated based on the last occurrence of frost in spring and the first occurrence of frost in autumn. This is an especially important parameter for agriculture, because the variability in the number of frost free days is crucial for many agricultural activities such as planting and harvesting, but the impact of a strong frost can become an economic problem that affects the prices.

CONT

On calcule le nombre de jours sans gel à partir de la dernière occurrence de gel au printemps et jusqu'à la première occurrence de gel à l'automne. Il s'agit surtout d'un paramètre intéressant pour l'agriculture; la variabilité du nombre de jours sans gel est en effet cruciale pour de nombreuses activités agricoles comme la plantation et la récolte, mais l'impact d'une forte gelée peut devenir un problème économique, qui influe sur le prix des denrées.

Subject field(s)
  • Beekeeping
CONT

... the productivity of donor hives is about 95% of a normal hive. A split has honey production of about 60% of a normally overwintered colony. However, the important parameter for the impact analysis is the average honey production of split and donor colonies, which is a bit less than 80% of the productivity of a normal colony.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Élevage des abeilles
CONT

[...] la productivité d'une ruche donneuse équivaut à environ 95 % de celle d'une ruche normale. Une ruche ayant été divisée a une production de miel qui équivaut à environ 60 % de celle d'une colonie ayant hiverné selon des conditions normales. Toutefois, le paramètre qui importe dans l'analyse des répercussions est celui de la production moyenne de miel des colonies divisées et des colonies donneuses, qui s'établit à moins de 80 % de la productivité d'une colonie normale.
